How to get a tattoo from a suntan

Isn’t it amazing how sometimes you have an idea, and then find out that someone living half the world shares the exact same idea? I’ve been mildly obsessed with the idea of tantoos (temporary tattoos from suntanning) for the longest time, so it tickles me a little to know that London-based artist-designer Dariusz Boron recently put up a funding campaign on Indiegogo for SunTanToos. If funded, the project would allow people to make their tantoo design online for a painless tattoo session with the sun. Alas, only $20 of the $8,000 goal has been raised to date, with over 50 days to go. Well, you know what to do if you’ve been thinking about tantoos too.

Wow, considering tanning is such a disaster for your health I’m not surprised the SunTanToos project has only raised $20. Yet another way to ruin your body for the sake of fashion. I can only hope this doesn’t catch on. You know, isn’t it amazing how not all ideas are good ideas…
